Open the Eyes of My Heart (Duffley)

[Music] brothers and sisters we're always courageous although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord for we walk by faith [Music] Christopher Duffy was born in May of 2001 he's actually the son of my youngest brother and his girlfriend and when I received the phone call from my brother I found out that he was born at only 26 weeks one pound 12 ounces so he's very premature and he was in critical condition and there were several nights that we were told that Christopher wouldn't make it through the night and at that point I prayed for Christopher and I just asked God to be with my brother and to do what his will would be and for a long time I had no contact with my brother really didn't know what happened to Christopher and all of a sudden my heart was moving where was my nephew what happened to him and on my first phone call to social services the gentleman knew about Christopher and he indeed was in foster care he was totally blind he had been born with cocaine in his system and he had a host of other medical issues my first response to that or my first feeling to that was fear I prayed very intently and I really I begged the Lord I said could you just show me show me what you would want and he did he answered in my heart he told me do not be afraid that I will take care of everything we've had challenges and we've had joys and one of the greatest joys was to hear Christopher make noise sing and keep me he really didn't talk till about first grade so when he sang it was really neat and it wasn't shortly around that time that we found him that Christopher had perfect pitch and he started to do remarkable things and what a joy and what a prophecy that God gave us that these tears would come and they come out of great joy and when Christopher sings opened the eyes of my heart he teaches us to not see everything but to see things to my god seasons to her [Music] I [Music] you sure [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] ah [Music] holy boy [Music] to see I [Music] to see [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
